The Facebook Article Article
What's better than an article about Facebook? Howbouts an article about Facebook articles. That's right, I went there. Not only do I waste my time on the Facebook, I waste my time reading articles about it... and go a step further and write about my findings.
I tell you one thing. There's at least one Facebook "easter egg" out there. "Easter eggs" are known by DVD enthusiasts as little hidden gems within the programming of a DVD. Basically, if you click on something most people wouldn't click on, you get something special. Facebook is no exception. I've found that if you click on "my friends" then click the little drop-box, and then click "---" (it looks to be a divider; it is not), you will find a new way to view your friends. Try it, I double dog dare you.
Moving along. I found an interesting story about this fellow at George Washington University. Apparently, he had set up this huge event and the cops busted it. Now, this fellow may have been a bit on the paranoid side, but he thought that the police were scanning Facebook to find out where to break up parties. So, in retaliation, he hyped up this huge Beer Fest. Well, the cops showed up and to their surprise, they found about 40 college students sitting around a table laced with cake and cookies. The cake spelled out the word BEER. The night consisted of Cake Pong and other sorts of cake games, minus any alcohol. The young man, however, claimed that the Cake Stand was one of the more difficult feats of the evening. This guy, I requested to be my friend.
There's another thing that's come of this. If ever I feel that I'm losing popularity, I'm gonna do my darnedest to get in some sort of publication about Facebook. Let me give you some stats.
Kyle Stoneman - the cake guy: 585 friends; 372 at other schools
Alex Teig - had an article written about her in the Austin-American Statesmen (yeah, I guess I could say I'm a KansasCitian-American, but I'm not gonna try to claim my city as a race): 844 friends; 386 at other schools
and last, but certainly not least, there's
Jenn Sterger - an FSU student that's got more than looks going for her. Apparently, some pictures she's posted on Facebook have captured national attention and she plans on posing for Maxim and Playboy magazine within the next semester. Friendcount: unknown. But it's said that on a daily basis, she receives 40-50 pokes per day and 50-75 messages. According to her... she reads them all.
Well, that's all the research I really felt like doing. I plan on befriending every person I read about in Facebook articles... and keep the tradition alive. And that's my pledge to you, dear friends, unless the person is an absolute idiot, befacebookfriend them. It will make the baby Jesus happy.
Until next time, friends;
Nick

I am stricken with awe, Nick. I didn't even know there were articles about facebook... although Playgirl has contacted me numerous times because of my facebook pictures, but I have to turn them down every time... I mean, I have principles...
I asked that girl to be my friend, the "jenn" one... hehe.
